    Entering 50’s vehicles from opposite side

    back before keyless entry, when you'd still need a key to unlock a door, I'd first unlock my girlfriend's / wife's door and open it for her. This was as recently as the late 90's

    Longest lasting brakes

    almost 97K on my OEM Dodge Caravan brakes. Rears and especially inside rear pads are wearing most but still plenty of life left.

    Should I trust Jeep engineers on 0W-20?

    my 2014 Caravan with Pentastar spec'd 5W-20...so well over a decade for 20W

    Turtle Wax Ceramic Hybrid Solutions Polish & Wax Users ?

    I'm a detail geek and finding the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic was life changing....with proper prep (wash, clay, ipa wipe down) and 2 coats, that stuff will be shiny and bead water for a year! My cars are garaged and don't sit outside. SOOO much easier than doing it old school with liquid waxes...

    Roger Cook Dies: ‘This Old House’ Longtime Landscape Expert Was 70

    oh, no, that sucks. Roger was always a good guy. The original group of guys (well, Steve Thomas was hosting when I found the show) was always my favorite. Steve, Norm, Tommy, Richard and Roger.

    Fords are built different

    my company car, 2024 edge, has the ugliest engine bay I've had since my late 70's cars. Plus it has the absolute worst drivability (throttle response/smoothness and brakes) of any car I've had in 40 something years of driving. Ride, handling and comfort is nice, drivability sucks. (Last Edge...

    10w-40 pcmo in 4t scooter...got ???'s

    it's a scooter without a shared sump...no wet clutch...you can go ahead and use PCMO all day long! It's a glorified lawnmower engine! Scoot on, brother! (I have a 96 Helix so I understand the love for scoots)

    2016 Ford Edge with 2.0L turbo oil pressure sensor replacement

    there is a link but it tells you nothing! The only thing it suggests replacement for is cabin air filter and engine air filter at certain points. Everything else just says 'inspect'....nothing about plugs, trans fluid, coolant, brake fluid, front and rear diff service..nothing even mentioned...

    2016 Ford Edge with 2.0L turbo oil pressure sensor replacement

    getting a little off topic, here, but my 2 week old 2024 Edge has no owners manual (everything online) and I still can't find anything from Ford on a service schedule other than 'take in every 10K miles for inspection'...craziest thing I've ever seen!

    2016 Ford Edge with 2.0L turbo oil pressure sensor replacement

    my 2018 Edge ingested its coolant at only 70K, requiring a new block. My new (company car) '24 Edge is awd (apparently they did away with fwd) and I'm reading about all the nightmares with Ford's PTU unit regularly cooking its fluid and grenading. ****, Ford...

    Toys you had as a kid and that you kept

    haha...that white plastic quarterback/kicker was awful! I don't think anyone ever really completed a pass. Kicking a field goal was slightly more likely.

    honda navi soon out of warranty...which fluids?

    You can keep on using the same fluids and your Navi will likely run forever. Maybe jump to full synthetic oil, although with the lack of a filter and short change intervals it probably won’t matter much. Oddly enough, 80/90 weight gear oil isnt much thicker than 30 or 40 weight engine oil. They...

    New Old Cars TV a channel that deserves more views.

    I thought the latest youtube update didn't allow any adblocking, any more? They give you some warnings and then block your access...I hate seeing the ads, now...ruins the experience.

    I am getting divorce

    I have a few buddies who got divorced in their late 40's, early 50's...most were so burned out on relationships with women that they chose not to date..and a few still haven't after 5-10 years. Can't really blame them...I couldn't imagine trying to date after all these years. ..and who wants to...

    If this ad is legit, How much would this 1986 Cutlass really be worth?

    kind of off topic but makes me wonder who back in '86 would have preferred this rear drive Cutlas to the front drive Cutlas Ciera A- body platform. The front driver with a 6cyl would have been a much better handling car. I drove many Malibu Classics of this ear and those things were pigs...and I...
